This is so unbelievably lazy. Of all the shows in the 2000s that he could have done an episode on, he chose THE SIMPSONS? Couldn’t he choose a show that peaked in the 2000s?

Well, let’s watch. I’m sure that he’ll give a run down of better shows that he could have talked about but didn’t.

0:00 – “But first a word from our sponsor…Bitcher?”

2:00 – He’s giving his autistic definition of when the new millenium began. WE DON’T CARE, JIMMY.

“Do you like when I rant about stupid shit?”

No. It’s boring as anything you ever talk about.

He says that he stopped watching tv in the 2000s so he had to Google all of this. Fucking great.

Malcolm in the Middle, That’s So Raven, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Spongebob.

Weren’t Friends and Spongebob more 1990s?

“I got to admit, I don’t really know a whole lot about any of those shows.”

So don’t do the video.

3:45 – “I’ve never understood why they’re called Treehouse of Horror because, from what I’ve seen, only the first one actually has a treehouse.”

So there’s your answer, retard. It’s fucking unbelievable.

4:00 – “I especially like the 90s episodes but we’re in the 2000s now.”

James…this is YOUR stupid criteria. If you don’t like it, don’t have the criteria. If you’ve never watched anything past 1999, don’t do episodes on anything past 1999. NOBODY was asking for one episode per decade. You could have done whatever you wanted.

“I sat down and watched every Simpsons Halloween episode from 2000 to 2009.

It just seems idiotic and a waste of time to me.

5:45 – He’s complaining about how the episodes aired in November. Even though he says that he didn’t know this because he never watched any of these when they originally aired. He only knows this from looking at Wikipedia. But he’s outraged by it. Because this means that his autistic criteria, that nobody cares about, hasn’t been met.

I made it to 8:45. He’s just summarising the episode. As usual. I can’t fucking do this.

It’s like James lost his mind. But no. He was always an idiot. We just didn’t know because he used to be controlled by Mike Matei and Mike was must better at puppeting Jimmy than Screenwave are.

You’re watching a literal retard.

How am I going to pad this out? Talking about the Simpsons? What can I say that hasn’t been said a billion times already?

I watched the show. I remember when it first started, I was in, I don’t know, fifth grade or something. One time, I was at a Cub Scouts meeting in the “rectory” and a friend of mine found a piece of cardbord with a zig zag pattern cut at the top. Like Bart’s hair. So he held the piece of cardboard behind his head and said, “I’m Bart Simpson, who are you?” He couldn’t say “hell” because we were in the “rectory” and our “den mother” was with us.

Then there were a couple of kids who were drawing Simpsons characters for 25 cents each. And they were really making a racket. It was all the rage. Everyone wanted a picture. They couldn’t keep up with demand.

When the teachers found out, they shut it down. They said that all proceeds had to go to the church. What? Why? They’re just selling drawings. How is that a sin? But the teachers were presenting this as though it was some big moral failing on these kids.

So by the time I got on board and asked the guy for a picture he said that the business was already shut down. Because they weren’t going this shit and then give the money to the church. That’s idiotic.

We had uniforms but but gym we got to wear whatever we wanted. But if you wore a Simpsons shirt, you had to turn it inside out. This was something that schools were doing all over the country. It was in the news. That’s how the idea spread.

So one day, I saw the principal’s son with his t-shirt inside out. I said, “Why is your t-shirt inside out?” He said, “Shut up.” Then I looked at it closer and I said, “Oh.” His father was also the gym teacher.

I watched the show up until I left the US in the mid 2000s. In the UK, you needed like cable in order to watch new episodes but they showed repeats from the start of the show to maybe two years before the current year every day so I’d watch that.

When I was in the US, I bought the first four seasons of the DVDs. Those came in handy in the UK because whenever I moved, I wouldn’t have the internet for a few days, up to a couple of weeks. An engineer had to arrive to turn the internet on. So I’d watch the DVDs to keep me entertained.

Is that it for my Simpsons stories? I think it might be. Oh, I had the comics too. I had a few Radioactive Man comics, I had the first Simpsons comic from Bongo, I had the earlier Simpsons comic from Welsh Publishing, and I had the first Bartman comic. I didn’t buy any others, I was just speculating. Trying to save for my retirement. None of that shit is worth anything.

That was it. I liked the show but I wasn’t getting the merchandise. Was there even merchandise? I had t-shirts, I guess. Bootleg and authentic. I bet those bootleg shirts might be worth something today, as a rarity, but my mother threw everything out, of course.
